Callie Baquero, LMFT

Callie Baquero is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida who helps people build everyday coping skills. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can learn to notice thoughts, practice presence, and try new ways of responding to stress and relationship strain.

She focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting stress, grief, eating and body-image struggles, and jealousy. Callie often brings a mindfulness lens to sessions and encourages clients to use tools they already have but may not notice in heated moments.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach practical skills for handling strong emotions and moving toward meaningful values. Sessions frequently include exercises to increase awareness of thoughts and feelings, and to build effective coping strategies for day-to-day life.

Callie also emphasizes the mind-body connection in her work. As a pilates instructor, she integrates attention to breath, posture, and movement when helpful to support emotional regulation and overall wellbeing.

With nine years of clinical experience, she brings steady, empathetic support while helping people practice new skills. Callie works in English and accepts international clients; prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How ACT and DBT Shape Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without fighting them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes when someone wants clearer direction. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense feelings, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or impulsive behaviors emerge.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what feels helpful, and then try exercises together to see what fits. Adjustments happen over time based on what the client needs and prefers.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during transitional periods. It also lets people practice mindfulness and DBT or ACT skills in the settings where they live, then bring observations back to sessions for discussion and refinement.
